Note 2.  Business Operations and Corporate Strategy

Business Operations

SunLink Health Systems, Inc. is a provider of healthcare services in certain rural and exurban markets in the United States.
SunLinks business is composed of two business segments:



| |  |  | Healthcare Facilities, which consist of
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our seven community hospitals which have a total of 402 licensed beds;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our three nursing homes, which have a total of 261 licensed beds, each of which is located adjacent to a corresponding SunLink community hospital;
and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our one home health agency, which operates in connection with a corresponding SunLink community hospital.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Specialty Pharmacy, which consists of
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | Specialty pharmacy services;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Durable medical equipment;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | Institutional pharmacy services; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | Retail pharmacy products and services, all of which are conducted in rural markets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SunLink has conducted its healthcare facilities business since 2001 and its specialty pharmacy business since April 2008. Our Specialty
Pharmacy Segment currently is operated through Carmichaels Cashway Pharmacy, Inc. (Carmichael), a subsidiary of our ScriptsRx LLC subsidiary and consists of a specialty pharmacy business acquired in April 2008 with four service
lines.

Strategy

SunLinks business strategy is to focus its efforts on internal growth of its existing healthcare facilities and its pharmacy
business, supplemented by growth from selected rural and exurban healthcare acquisitions, including but not limited to hospitals, nursing homes, home care businesses, and pharmacy businesses. However, as was the case in 2004 with the sale of our
Mountainside Medical Center hospital and in September 2009 with the sale of three home health agencies, we consider disposition of one or more of our facilities or operations based on a variety



5



---

of factors including asset values, return on investments, competition from existing and potential facilities and capital improvement needs and other corporate objectives. We likewise evaluate our
strategic alternatives on an on-going basis. In addition, as we have previously announced, we have recently engaged Fennebresque & Co. of Charlotte, NC as financial advisor to aid in our evaluation of strategic alternatives as well as in
connection with a potential refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness. Currently no agreement has been reached or approved by the Board of SunLink to effect any strategic transaction or to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness.

Our operational strategy is focused on efforts to increase internal growth. Our primary operational strategy for our community hospitals
is to improve the profitability of such hospitals by reducing out-migration of patients, recruiting physicians, expanding services and implementing and maintaining effective cost controls. Our operational strategy for our nursing homes and home
health agency is similar to that for our community hospitals and is focused on marketing services and implementing and maintaining effective cost controls.

Finally, our operational strategy for our specialty pharmacy segment is focused on continuing the integration of the Carmichael
operations acquired in April 2008, increasing collection efforts, marketing services and implementing and maintaining effective cost controls.

Note 3.  Sale of Home Health Businesses

In September 2009, we sold three of our home health businesses for approximately $3,300 resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately
$2,342 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Included in the net assets of the three home health businesses sold was $429 of goodwill related to our Healthcare Facilities Segment. The home health businesses were located in Adel, GA,
Clanton, AL and Fulton, MO.

Note 4.  Discontinued Operations

All of the businesses discussed below are reported as discontinued operations and the condensed consolidated financial statements for all
prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this presentation.

Housewares Segment - Beldray Limited (Beldray), SunLinks U.K. housewares
manufacturing subsidiary, was sold on October 5, 2001 to two of its managers for nominal consideration. KRUG International U.K. Ltd. (KRUG UK), an inactive U.K. subsidiary of SunLink, entered into a guarantee (the Beldray
Guarantee), at a time when it owned Beldray. The Beldray Guarantee covered Beldrays obligations under a lease of a portion of Beldrays former manufacturing location. KRUG UK was placed into involuntary liquidation by a U.K. High
Court in February 2005 and, in an insolvency proceeding, the liquidator in August 2007 made an application against SunLink and three former directors of KRUG UK. This application was settled for approximately $1,400 on April 13, 2010. A portion
of the settlement, $480, was contributed as an insured claim by SunLinks Directors and Officers insurer. SunLinks other current expenses at March 31, 2010, included $920 contributed by SunLink to the settlement. The pre-tax
loss of $205 in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 with respect to the former housewares segment operations resulted from $342 to increase the reserve for the claim paid to the liquidator in April 2010, $195 of legal defense expense
offset by $332 of insurance reimbursement for legal expenses paid. The pre-tax loss for the nine months of $379 was comprised of the increase in the reserve for the claim, the insurance reimbursement and $369 of legal defense expense. See the
Legal Proceedings subsection in Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies which follows for additional disclosure with respect to the liquidators claim and settlement.

Mountainside Medical Center - On June 1, 2004, SunLink sold its Mountainside Medical Center (Mountainside)
hospital in Jasper, Georgia, for approximately $40,000 pursuant to the terms of an asset sale agreement. In connection with this sale, a claim by the buyer of Mountainside and a counter claim by SunLink had been in litigation since July 2006. On
October 26, 2006, SunLink obtained a judgment for damages of $1,056 plus accrued prejudgment interest from the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia. The damage amount of $1,056 is a net amount including $1,560 of Medicaid receipts owed to
SunLink for pre-sale operations of Mountainside (and previously collected and disputed by the buyer) less $504 SunLink owed to the buyer under the asset sale agreement. This judgment was appealed by the buyer to the Georgia Court of Appeal which
affirmed the judgment in November 2009. The judgment was further appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court which, on May 2, 2010, declined to hear the appeal. As a result of this decision, SunLink recorded a receivable at March 31, 2010 for



7



---

$1,325 composed of the judgment amount plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest through that date in Current Assets of Mountainside in the accompanying March 31, 2010 balance sheet. Included
in the pre-tax earnings of Mountainside for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010 as a result of the judgment is $1,829, composed of total of the $1,560 payment plus $266 of accrued judgment interest. Also included in pre-tax
earning of Mountainside for three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010 are legal expenses related to the litigation with the buyer claim and SunLinks counterclaim. Under the terms of the asset sale agreement, SunLink has the right
to be indemnified by the buyer for losses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of litigation) incurred in enforcing the covenants and agreements of the buyer of the asset sale agreement. No amount of any possible recovery of legal
fees has been accrued as of March 31, 2010. The retained assets and liabilities of Mountainside are shown in current assets and current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. See the Legal Proceedings subsection in Note 14
Commitments and Contingencies which follows for additional disclosure with respect to the claims.

Life
Sciences and Engineering Segment - SunLink retained a defined benefit retirement plan which covered substantially all of the employees of this segment when it was sold in fiscal 1998. Effective February 28, 1997, the plan was amended to
freeze participant benefits and close the plan to new participants. Included in discontinued operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were the following:

SunLink did not contribute to the plan in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. We expect to make no
contribution to the plan through the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

Discontinued Operations
Reserves - Over the past 20 years, SunLink has discontinued operations carried on by its former Mountainside Medical Center and its former industrial, U.K. leisure marine, life sciences and engineering, and European child safety
segments, as well as the U.K. housewares segment. SunLinks reserves relating to discontinued operations of these segments represent managements best estimate of SunLinks possible liability for property, product liability and other
claims for which SunLink may incur liability. These estimates are based on managements judgments, using currently available information, as well as, in certain instances, consultation with its insurance carriers, third party advisors and legal
counsel. While estimates have been based on the evaluation of available information, it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of many contingencies relating to discontinued operations. SunLink intends to continue to adjust
its estimates of the reserves as additional information is developed and evaluated. However, management believes that the final resolution of these contingencies will not have a material adverse impact on the financial position, cash flows or
results of operations of SunLink.

Note 5.  Stock-Based Compensation

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $10 and $26, respectively, in salaries, wages and benefit

Note 6.  Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) ASC 105. ASC 105 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements
issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The codification is effective for the accompanying interim financial statements and the principal impact is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative
literature will be referenced in accordance with the codification.

In September 2006, the FASB issued new accounting guidance
related to fair value measurements and related disclosures. This new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted this new guidance on July 1,
2008, as required for our financial assets and financial liabilities. However, the FASB deferred the effective date of this new guidance for one year as it related to fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that
are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. We adopted these remaining provisions on July 1, 2009. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The recorded values of cash, receivables, and payables approximate their fair values
because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the fair value of SunLinks long-term debt is estimated to approximate its recorded values due to its relatively short maturity period - six years.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the accounting for no controlling interests in consolidated
financial statements. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance requires that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be
reported in the equity section of the controlling companys balance sheet. It also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling companys income statement. This guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted this guidance on July 1, 2009 and reclassified minority interest to the equity section of the balance sheet. (See Note 12  Noncontrolling Interest)

SunLink Credit FacilitiesOn April 23, 2008, SunLink entered into a $47,000
seven-year senior secured credit facility (Credit Facility) comprised of a revolving line of credit of up to $12,000 with an interest rate at LIBOR plus 3.50% (6.25% at March 31, 2010) (the Revolving Loan) and a $35,000
term loan with an interest rate at LIBOR plus 5.07% (7.82% at March 31, 2010) (the Term Loan). In the Credit Facility, LIBOR is defined as the Thirty-Day published rate, not to be less than 2.75%, nor more than 5.50%. The total
availability of credit under all components of the credit facility is keyed to the level of SunLinks earnings, which, based upon the Companys estimates, provided for current borrowing capacity, before any draws, of approximately $40,670
at March 31, 2010. Costs and fees related to execution of the Credit Facility were $2,179. The fees will be amortized over seven years at approximately $317 a year and are recorded in other assets and other non-current assets. Amortization
expense was approximately $100 and $293, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and $95 and $282, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2009. Accumulated amortization was approximately
$731 and $343 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all real and personal property of the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries, including a
pledge of all of the equity interests in such subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility contains various terms and conditions,
including operational and financial restrictions and limitations, and affirmative and negative covenants. The covenants include financial covenants measured on a quarterly basis which require SunLink to comply with maximum leverage and minimum fixed
charge ratios, maximum capital expenditure amounts, collateral value to loan amount and liquidity and cash flow measures, all as defined in the Credit Agreement. We believe we are currently in compliance with such covenants based upon an
interpretation of various covenant definitions we believe reasonable but about which there can be no certainty. Thus no assurance is given that our interpretation could not be challenged by our lenders or that we will be able to continue in
compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility in subsequent fiscal quarters. If we fail to remain in compliance with the Credit Facility, we would cease to have a right to draw on the Credit Facility and the lenders would,
among other things, be entitled to call a default and demand repayment of the indebtedness outstanding thereunder.

Note 10.  Subordinated Long-Term Debt

Subordinated long-term debt consisted of the following:



|                        |  |               |       |   |              |   |       |

Carmichael Loan  On April 22, 2008, SunLink Scripts Rx, LLC entered into a $3,000
promissory note agreement with an interest rate of 8% with the former owners of Carmichael as part of the acquisition purchase price. The note is payable in semi-annual installments of $150 beginning on April 22, 2009 with the remaining balance
of $1,200 due April 22, 2015. Interest is payable in arrears semi-annually on the six-month anniversary of the issuance of the note. The note is guaranteed by SunLink Health Systems, Inc. for the payment of the note and accrued interest. The
note is subordinate to our Credit Facility.

Note 11.  Income Taxes

Income tax expense of $391 ($535 federal tax expense and $144 state tax benefit) and income tax expense of $1,159 ($837 federal tax
benefit and $322 state tax benefit) was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income tax expense of $609 ($753 federal tax expense and $144 state tax benefit) and $509 ($260 federal tax expense and $249
state tax expense) was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The high effective income tax rate of 51.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 resulted from the tax non-deductibility of $429 of
goodwill included in the net assets of the home health businesses sold during the nine months.

We had an estimated net
operating loss carry-forward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $6,200 at March 31, 2010. Use of this net operating loss carry-forward is subject to the limitations of the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. As a
result, not all of the net operating loss carry-forward is available to offset federal taxable income in the current year. At March 31, 2010, we have provided a partial valuation allowance against the domestic deferred tax asset so that the net
domestic tax asset was $4,785. Based upon managements assessment that it was more likely than not that a portion of its domestic deferred tax asset (primarily its domestic net operating losses subject to limitation) would not be recovered, the
Company established a valuation allowance for the portion of the domestic tax asset which may not be utilized. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the foreign tax asset as it is more likely than not that none of
the foreign deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income or implementation of tax planning strategies.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes for a change in judgment related to
prior years tax positions in the quarter of such change. Activity in the unrecognized tax benefit liability account is as follows from July 1, 2008 through March 31, 2010:



|                                                         |  |     |

|Balance at March 31, 2010                                |  | 70  |  
|                                                         |  |     |  

SunLink or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns with the United States, various states
in the United States and in certain foreign jurisdictions. We are not currently subject to U.S. federal, state or local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for any tax years. We therefore believe that there is no tax jurisdiction
in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. We further believe that we have made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties.

At July 1, 2009, our unrecognized tax benefits, the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the
benefits recognized in our financial statements as shown above, amounted to $66. If recognized, all of our unrecognized tax benefits would not reduce our income tax expense or effective tax rate except as such recognition related to the removal of
the liability associated with interest classified as income tax expense. No portion of any such reduction might be reported as discontinued operations. During fiscal year 2010, certain factors could potentially reduce our unrecognized tax benefits,
either because of the expiration of open statutes of limitation or modifications to our intercompany accounting policies and procedures. Of these tax positions, none relate to positions that would affect our total tax provision or effective tax rate
(except as such recognition related to the removal of the liability associated with interest classified as income tax expense).

We classify interest accrued on tax deficiencies as tax expense and classify income tax penalties as tax expense. At March 31, 2010,
before any tax benefits, our accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $14 and we had recorded no related accrued penalties.

Note 12.  Noncontrolling Interest

On February 1, 2008, SunLink sold 17% of the Chilton Medical Center in Clanton, Alabama, to individual physicians, most of whom
practice at that facility. The noncontrolling interest reported reflects these physicians ownership interest at March 31, 2010. The results of operations for the period from February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2010 were a loss and did not
impact the physicians ownership interest. In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance relating to accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements and requires that noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries be
reported in the equity section of the controlling companys balance sheet. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2009 and has retroactively adjusted the accompanying June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet to conform
to this accounting standard and the March 31, 2010 presentation.

Note 13.  Comprehensive Earnings

Our comprehensive earnings include foreign currency translation adjustments and change in minimum pension liability. The foreign currency
translation adjustment results primarily from the effect of changes in the exchange rates of the UK pound on our reserve for the Beldray Guarantee (See Note 4. Discontinued Operations).

Total comprehensive earnings for the following periods were as follows:

Note 14.  Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On July 13, 2006, Piedmont Healthcare, Inc. (PHI) and Piedmont Mountainside Hospital, Inc. (PMH)
(collectively the Plaintiffs or Piedmont) filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, alleging breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) dated as of April 9, 2004 by and
among PMH, Piedmont Medical Center, Inc. (n/k/a PMI), Southern Health Corporation of Jasper, Inc. (SHCJ), SunLink Healthcare LLC (formerly SunLink Healthcare Corp.) and SunLink (collectively Defendants or SunLink)
pursuant to which the Mountainside Medical Center was sold to PMH in June 2004. Specifically, Piedmont sought to have SunLink reimburse Piedmont for certain costs associated with an alleged indigent and charity care shortfall of Piedmont
Mountainside Hospital (formerly Mountainside Medical Center) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 demanded by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). In addition, Piedmont sought reimbursement for funds allegedly
recouped from PMH by DCH in respect of Medicaid Cost Report settlements and adjustments for the reporting periods ended June 30, 2002, June 30, 2003 and May 31, 2004. Piedmont also sought a declaratory judgment to the effect that
PMH could retain certain payments it received or likely would receive from the DCHs Indigent Care Trust Fund for Disproportionate Share Hospitals. Piedmont also sought recovery of costs and attorneys fees pursuant to the Agreement and
under Georgia Law.

On August 11, 2006, SunLink filed an Answer to the complaint asserting factual and legal defenses,
along with a Counterclaim. In the Counterclaim, SHCJ alleged that PMH breached the Agreement by failing to reimburse SHCJ for certain Medicaid Cost Report adjustments for the reporting periods ended June 30, 1999, and June 30, 2000, as
well as funds paid to PMH from the DCHs Indigent Care Trust Fund for Disproportionate Share Hospitals, which payments Defendants contended qualified as excluded assets not sold to PMH under the Agreement. SHCJ also alleged that PMH
breached the Agreement by failing to cooperate with SHCJ in an appeal of certain Medicaid Cost Reports settlements for the reporting periods ended June 30, 2002, June 30, 2003 and May 31, 2004. SHCJ further alleged that Piedmont
breached its obligations to guarantee PMHs payment and performance of its obligations under the Agreement. SunLink sought a declaratory judgment regarding the parties rights in respect of the Medicaid Cost Report settlements and
adjustments, as well as the payments made under the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Also, Defendants sought to recover their costs and attorneys fees pursuant to the Agreement and under Georgia law.

On October 13, 2008, the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, ruled in
SunLinks favor and determined that the May and August 2006 DSH payments constituted excluded assets not sold to PMH under the Agreement and, therefore, the right to receive the payments belonged to SunLink. By PMH retaining the
payments for itself and failing to pay an equivalent amount of money to SunLink, PMH was in breach of the agreement. PMH was held liable to SunLink for damages in the net amount of $1,056 ($1,560 in DSH payments minus $504 SHCJ owed PMH pursuant to
the Agreement), plus prejudgment interest from August 11, 2006 to November 11, 2008 at the legal rate of 7%, and post-judgment interest after November 11, 2008 at the legal rate of 7%. Piedmont appealed the ruling of the Superior
Court to the Georgia Court of Appeals. On November 30, 2009, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment in favor of SunLink in all respects. In December of 2009, Piedmont filed a petition for certiorari requesting that the
Georgia Supreme Court hear the case. SunLink opposed the petition, and on May 3, 2010 the Georgia Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal. Therefore, SunLink has recorded a receivable of $1,325 for the judgment amount plus pre-judgment and
post-judgment interest, and offset the amounts owing to PMH. The receivable is included in the accompanying March 31, 2010 balance sheet, and the benefit associated therewith is included in earnings from discontinued operations in the consolidated
statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. Under the terms of the asset sale agreement, SunLink has the right to be indemnified by the buyer for losses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of
litigation) incurred in enforcing the covenants and agreements of the buyer of the asset sale agreement.

On December 7,
2007, Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (SHC-Ellijay) filed a Complaint against James P. Garrett and Roberta Mundy, both individually and as Fiduciary of the Estate of Randy Mundy (collectively, the Mundys),
seeking specific performance of an Option Agreement (the Option Agreement) dated April 17, 2007, between SHC-Ellijay, Mr. Garrett, and Ms. Mundy as Executrix of the Estate of Randy Mundy for the sale of approximately 24.74
acres of real property located in Gilmer County, Georgia, and recovery of SHC-Ellijays damages suffered as a result of the Mundys failure to close the transaction in accordance with the Option Agreement. SHC-Ellijay also stated alternative
claims for breach of the Option Agreement and fraud, along with claims to recover attorneys fees and punitive damages.

In January 2008, the Mundys filed a motion to strike, motion to dismiss, answer, affirmative defenses, and a counterclaim against
SHC-Ellijay. On March 3, 2009, SHC-Ellijay filed a First Amended and Restated Complaint for Damages, which effectively dropped the cause of action for specific performance of the Option Agreement. On May 7, 2009, Mr. Garrett and
Ms. Mundy served a motion for summary judgment on all counts and causes of action stated in the First Amended Complaint. The court has postponed consideration of the defendants motion for summary judgment and SHC-Ellijays response
thereto until after a discovery dispute between the parties has been resolved.

SunLink denies that it has any liability
to the Mundys and intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against SunLink by the Mundys complaint and to vigorously pursue its claims against the Mundys. While the ultimate outcome and materiality of the litigation cannot be determined, in
managements opinion the litigation will not have a material adverse effect on SunLinks financial condition or results of operations.

As discussed in Note 4.  Discontinued Operations, SunLink sold its former U.K. housewares manufacturing
subsidiary, Beldray Limited (Beldray) in October 2001. Beldray subsequently entered into administrative receivership under the administration of its primary lender. SunLink believes Beldray ceased to operate in October 2004.

On August 6, 2007 the liquidator in an insolvency proceeding in the United Kingdom involving SunLinks former subsidiary KRUG
International (UK) Limited (KRUG UK) made an



15

application in The Birmingham County Court in Birmingham, England which sought a declaration by the court that a transfer of certain funds in 2001 from KRUG UK to SunLink in connection with the
purchase of certain preferred stock of another subsidiary of SunLink, the making of a loan to SunLink, and certain forgiveness of debt to SunLink by KRUG UK Limited was improper as, among other things, KRUG UK was then effectively insolvent and that
the approval of such transfers by the then directors of KRUG UK resulted in a breach of their fiduciary duties. The liquidator sought to have the court order the former directors or, in the alternative, SunLink, to account for, repay or restore such
funds to the liquidator of KRUG UK. This application was settled in April 2010 with SunLink agreeing to pay approximately $1,400. SunLinks insurer under a Directors and Officers insurance policy contributed $480 to the settlement with SunLink
paying the difference of $920.

SunLinks current liabilities at March 31, 2010, included $920 for this payment.
SunLink expensed $342 in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 to increase the recorded liability to the settlement amount and the amount is included in results of discontinued operations for those periods. SunLink also expensed $196
in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 for legal costs to defend against the claim. This expense was offset by $332 of insurance reimbursement for legal expenses paid by SunLinks insurer. As a result of the settlement of this claim and the
U.K. liquidation proceedings against KRUG UK, SunLink expects KRUG UK to be wound-up in liquidation in the UK and has fully reserved for the assets of KRUG UK.

Additional contingent obligations, other than with respect to our existing operations, include potential product liability claims for
products manufactured and sold before the disposal of our discontinued industrial segment in fiscal year 1989 and for guarantees of certain obligations of former subsidiaries. SunLink provided an accrual at March 31, 2010 related to the Beldray
Lease Guarantee, as discussed above. Based upon an evaluation of information currently available and consultation with legal counsel, management has not reserved any amounts for contingencies related to these liquidations.

SunLink is a party to claims and litigation incidental to its business, for which it is not currently possible to determine the ultimate
liability, if any. Based on an evaluation of information currently available and consultation with legal counsel, management believes that resolution of such claims and litigation is not likely to have a material effect on the financial position,
cash flows, or results of operations of SunLink. SunLink expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

At March 31, 2010, SunLink had contracts with two
physicians which contained guaranteed minimum gross receipts. A physician with whom a guarantee agreement is made generally agrees to maintain his/her practice within the hospital geographic area for a specific period (normally three years) or be
liable to repay all or a portion of the guarantee received. The physicians liability for any guarantee repayment due to non-compliance with guarantee provisions generally is collateralized by the physicians patient accounts receivable
and/or a promissory note from the physician. Included in the Companys consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2010 is a liability of $205 for two physician guarantees. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, SunLink
expensed $85 and $214 on physician guarantees and recruiting for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and expensed $517 and $598 on physician guarantees and recruiting for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2009, respectively. The table above shows non-cancelable commitments under physician guarantee contracts as of March 31, 2010.

Note
15.  Related Party Transactions

A director of the Company and our company secretary (who was a director of SunLink
until November 2003 and is now a director emeritus) are members of two different law firms, each of which provides services to SunLink. The Company has paid an aggregate of $147 and $118 for legal services to these law firms in the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $399 and $433 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note 16.  Financial Information By Segments

Prior to the acquisition of Carmichael in April 2008, we operated as a single business segment. Under ASC Topic No. 280, Segment
Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision-making group is composed of the chief executive officer and members of senior management. Our two reportable operating segments are Healthcare Facilities and Specialty Pharmacy.

As a consequence, current plans, anticipated actions and future financial condition and results may differ from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of SunLink. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this Form 10-Q. We have not undertaken any obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Corporate Business Strategy

SunLinks business strategy is to focus its efforts on internal growth of its existing healthcare facilities and its
pharmacy business, supplemented by growth from selected rural and exurban healthcare acquisitions, including but not limited to hospitals, nursing homes, home care businesses, and pharmacy businesses. However, as was the case in 2004 with the sale
of our Mountainside Medical Center hospital and in September 2009 with the sale of three home health agencies, we do consider disposition of one or more of our facilities or operations based on a variety of factors including asset values, return on
investments, competition from existing and potential facilities and capital improvement needs and other corporate objectives. We likewise evaluate our strategic alternatives on an on-going basis. In addition, as we have previously announced, we have
recently engaged Fennebresque & Co. of Charlotte, NC as financial advisor

---

to aid in our evaluation of strategic alternatives as well as in connection with a potential refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness. Currently no agreement has been reached or approved by
the Board of SunLink to effect any strategic transaction or to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness.

Our operational strategy is focused on efforts to increase internal growth. Our primary operational strategy for our
community hospitals is to improve the profitability of such hospitals by reducing out-migration of patients, recruiting physicians, expanding services and implementing and maintaining effective cost controls. Our operational strategy for our nursing
homes and home health agency is similar to that for our community hospitals and is focused on marketing services and implementing and maintaining effective cost controls.

Finally, our operational strategy for our specialty pharmacy segment is focused on continuing the integration of the
Carmichael operations acquired in April 2008, increasing collection efforts, marketing services and implementing and maintaining effective cost controls.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to
make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:



| |  |  | it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been made could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or
financial condition.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our 2009
Annual Report on Form 10-K and continue to include the following areas:



| |  |  | Receivables  net and provision for doubtful accounts;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Revenue recognition / Net Patient Service Revenues;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Goodwill and accounting for business combinations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Professional and general liability claims; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Accounting for income taxes.

Equivalent admissions Equivalent admissions is used by management (and certain investors) as a general
measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume for our hospital operations. Equivalent admissions are computed by multiplying admissions (inpatient volume) by the sum of gross inpatient revenues and gross outpatient revenues and dividing the
result by gross inpatient revenues. The equivalent admissions computation is intended to relate outpatient revenues to the volume measure (admissions) used to measure inpatient volume to result in a general approximation of combined inpatient and
outpatient volume (equivalent admissions).

The decrease in net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was due to decreases
in Medicare and commercial insurance revenue offset by an increase in self pay revenue and Medicaid revenue. Net Medicare revenues decreased $557, a 3.4% decrease from last year to $15,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Management
believes Medicare net revenues have decreased due to lower Medicare volumes resulting from patients deferring treatment until it is absolutely necessary. Commercial insurance revenues decreased $513, a 4.1% decrease from last year to $12,150 for the
three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company believes the decrease in commercial insurance and other revenues is due to fewer patients having commercial insurance due to the current economic conditions. Self-pay net revenues increased $916, a
17.8% increase from last year to $6,058 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in self-pay net revenues is due to higher self-pay admissions resulting from more uninsured patients.

The increase in net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was due to increases in Medicaid and self-pay
revenues offset by a decrease in Medicare revenue. Medicaid revenue increased $1,760, a 10.9% increase from last year to $17,844 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the prior years period due to revenue from state
indigent care programs and more patients applying and qualifying for Medicaid coverage. Our healthcare facilities have increased their efforts to assist such patients to qualify for Medicaid. Net self pay revenues increased $1,616, an 11.1% increase
from last year to $16,115 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and increased to 14.1% of net revenues from 12.8% last year. Medicare revenues decreased $2,281, a 4.9% decrease from last year to $44,387 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2010 and decreased to 38.7% of net revenues from 41.2% last year. Management believes Medicare net revenues have decreased due to lower Medicare volumes resulting from patients deferring treatment until it is absolutely necessary.

Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included $1,679 and $1,442, respectively,
from state indigent care programs. Net revenues included an increase of $624 and $119 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for the settlements and filings of prior year Medicare and Medicaid cost reports. Net
revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included $2,629 and $2,082, respectively, from state indigent care programs. Net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included $1,084 and $391,
respectively, for the settlements and filings of prior year Medicare and Medicaid cost reports.

We added
seven net new doctors during the year ended June 30, 2009 and six net new doctors during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, SunLink expensed $85 and $517 on physician
guarantees and recruiting for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and expensed $517 and $598 on physician guarantees and recruiting for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. We also have
expended approximately $3,513 for capital expenditures to upgrade services and facilities since July 1, 2008.

We continue to seek increased patient volume by attracting additional
physicians to our hospitals, upgrading the services offered by the hospitals on an as-needed basis and improving our hospitals physical facilities based on the availability of capital resources and our assessment of expected return on capital.

Specialty Pharmacy Segment

Specialty Pharmacy net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $12,219, a decrease of $1,570, or 11.4%,
from $13,789 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease resulted from a decrease in pharmacy revenue, primarily one infusion therapy drug prescribed for premature babies at high risk for lung disease. The major revenue source for
the infusion therapy drug is Louisiana Medicaid, which has reduced the utilization of the drug this fiscal year. This reduced utilization decreased Specialty Pharmacy revenue by $1,567 and $1,950 for three and nine months ended March 31, 2010,
respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, Specialty Pharmacy net revenue was $35,077, a decrease of $1,651, or 4.5%, from $36,728 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Healthcare Facilities Segment Cost and Expenses

Costs and expenses for our Healthcare Facilities, including depreciation and amortization, were $36,447 and $35,551 for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $109,575 and $106,313 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense as a percentage of net revenues increased slightly in the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year due to increased employed physicians. Supplies increased in the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2010 due to an increase in the cost of implants as compared to the
same periods in the prior year.

Provision for bad debts increased as a percentage of net revenue in the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the prior year periods due to higher self-pay revenues, increased coinsurance and deductible amounts that insured persons have to pay and the overall increased aging of accounts receivable due to
self pay receivables taking longer to collect than other payor receivables. This overall increase in the aging of accounts receivable required a higher allowance for bad debts. Self-pay revenues increased $1,616 or 11.1% in the nine months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to the comparable prior year period and $916 or 17.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the comparable prior year period.

Cost of goods as a percent of net revenue decreased in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to
the prior year due to sales product mix. Decreased sales of certain high volume infusion therapy products, which have a higher cost of sales as a percentage of revenue, resulted in the decreased costs of goods sold during in the current year.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased as a percent of net revenue in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year primarily due to increased staffing in the accounting and business office areas needed for
implementing and improving system controls and procedures. Salaries, wages and benefits also increased $135 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. The provision for bad debts as a percent of net revenues increased during the
three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period last year due to increased reserve needed for aged pharmacy receivables and write-off of aged DME receivables. The provision for bad debts as a percentage of net revenue was
unchanged for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Corporate Overhead Costs and Expenses

Cost and expenses for Corporate Overhead including depreciation and amortization, was $1,233 and $1,441 for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $3,617 and $4,251 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in
corporate overhead expense for the Specialty Pharmacy Segment in the current years quarter compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Impairment of Construction in Process  Land Acquisition Costs

In August 2007, SunLink received final approval of a Certificate of Need application with the State of Georgia to build a
replacement hospital in Ellijay, Georgia. SunLink exercised its option to purchase land in Ellijay to build the replacement hospital; however, the owner failed to close. SunLink is pursuing a claim for damages against the owner based upon the
owners failure to close the sale as agreed. We are currently in litigation with the owner. The outcome of the litigation is uncertain. The agreed purchase price for such property was approximately $3,300. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, SunLink expensed $433 of costs which had been capitalized relating to the land.

Operating Profit

SunLink had an operating profit of $1,650 and $2,410 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Operating profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $3,775 compared to operating profit of $3,325 last year. The decrease in operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the prior year
period resulted from the lower net revenues of both operating segments and increased bad debt expense. The increase in operating profit in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the operating profit in the prior year periods was due
to sale of three home health businesses in September 2009.

Sale of Home Health Businesses

In September 2009, the Company sold three of its home health businesses for approximately $3,300 resulting in a pre-tax
gain of approximately $2,342. Included in the net assets of the three home health businesses sold was $429 of goodwill related to the Healthcare Facilities Segment. The home health businesses were located in Adel, GA, Clanton, AL and Fulton, MO.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $832 and $292 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was $2,610
and $2,818 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 decreased from the same periods last year due to decreased debt. The increase in current
years interest expense as compared to interest expense the prior year resulted from the accrual of derivative interest expense of $291 and $601 recorded in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, related to the
Carmichael acquisition. The former owners of Carmichael (Sellers) received 334,448 common shares of SunLink as partial consideration for SunLinks purchase of Carmichael in April 2008. SunLink was obligated to pay to the Sellers the
difference between market value at the business sale date and price per share received for any shares sold less $1 per share if these shares were sold within a year. The derivative interest expense of $291 and $601 for the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2009 resulted from the change in the calculated liability for the obligation. In March 2009, SunLink and the Sellers reached an agreement to cancel SunLinks share price guarantee in exchange for a one-year extension of the
consulting agreement with one of the Sellers, assumption by SunLink of $227 of disputed pre-acquisition expenses that SunLink determined were the obligation of the Sellers, and payment by SunLink of certain post closing items.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense of $391 ($535 federal tax expense and $144 state tax benefit) and income tax expense of $1,159 ($837
federal tax benefit and $322 state tax benefit) was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income tax expense of $609 ($753 federal tax expense and $144 state tax benefit) and $509 ($260 federal tax expense
and $249 state tax expense) was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The high effective income tax rate of 51.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 resulted from the tax non-deductibility of $429
of goodwill included in the net assets of the home health businesses sold during the nine months.

We had an
estimated net operating loss carry-forward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $6,200 at March 31, 2010. Use of this net operating loss carry-forward is subject to the limitations of the provisions of Internal Revenue Code
Section 382. As a result, not all of the net operating loss carry-forward is available to offset federal taxable income in the current year. At March 31, 2010, we have provided a partial valuation allowance against the domestic deferred
tax asset so that the net domestic tax asset was $4,785. Based upon managements assessment that it was more likely than not that a portion of its domestic deferred tax asset (primarily its domestic net operating losses subject to limitation)
would not be recovered, the



26



---

Company established a valuation allowance for the portion of the domestic tax asset which may not be utilized. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the foreign
tax asset as it is more likely than not that none of the foreign deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income or implementation of tax planning strategies.

Earnings from continuing operations were $430 ($0.05 per fully diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2010
compared to earnings from continuing operations of $981 ($0.12 per fully diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decreased earnings in the current years quarter resulted from the lower operating profit and higher interest
expense as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Earning from continuing operations was $568 ($0.07 earnings per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to earnings from continuing operations of $217
($0.03 per fully diluted share) for the comparable period last year. Earnings from continuing operations in the current years nine months results increased from the same period last year due to the sale of three of our home health agencies in
September 2009.

Earnings from discontinued operations of $1,050 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010
resulted from the Mountainside Medical Center earnings from operations of $1,389 which resulted from a litigation settlement, $298 of losses attributable to our former KRUG UK operations which resulted from a litigation settlement and defense cost
and $41 resulting from domestic pension items relating to discontinued operations. Earnings from discontinued operations of $1,216 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted from the Mountainside Medical Center earnings from operations
of $1,417 which resulted from litigation settlement, $183 of losses attributable to our former KRUG UK operations which resulted from a litigation settlement and a defense cost and $18 resulting from domestic pension items relating to discontinued
operations.

Net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $1,646 ($0.20 per fully diluted share)
compared to net earnings of $949 ($0.12 earnings per fully diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,618 ($0.20 per fully diluted share) compared to net earnings of
$21 ($0.00 loss per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Adjusted earnings before income taxes,
interest, depreciation and amortization

Earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) represent the sum of income before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization. We understand that certain industry analysts and investors generally consider EBITDA to be one measure of the liquidity of a
company, and it is presented to assist analysts and investors in analyzing the ability of a company to generate cash, service debt and meet capital requirements. We believe increased EBITDA is an indicator of improved ability to service existing
debt and to satisfy capital requirements. EBITDA, however, is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a
measure of operating performance or to cash liquidity. Because EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Ebitda, as
presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other corporations. Where we adjust EBITDA for non-cash charges we refer to such measurement as Adjusted EBITDA, which we report on a company wide basis. Non-cash
adjustments in Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be identified or characterized in any respect as non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, if we believe such charge is reasonably likely to recur within two years, or if there was a similar
charge (or gain) within the prior two years. Where we report Adjusted EBITDA, we typically also report Hospital Facilities Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Specialty Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA which is the EBITDA for the applicable segments without
any allocation of corporate overhead, which we report as a separate line item,

gains on sales of businesses and without any allocation of the non-cash adjustments, which we also report as a separate line item in Adjusted EBITDA. Net cash used in operations for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is shown below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated $1,582 of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $272 of
cash used in operating activities during the comparable period last year. The cash generated from operations in the current quarter resulted mainly from decreased accounts receivable and third party payor settlements receivable offset by decreases
in income taxes payable.

On April 23, 2008, SunLink entered into a $47,000 seven-year senior secured
credit facility (Credit Facility) comprised of a revolving line of credit of up to $12,000 with an interest rate at LIBOR plus 3.50% (6.25% at March 31, 2010) (the Revolving Loan) and a $35,000 term loan with an interest
rate at LIBOR plus 5.07% (7.82% at March 31, 2010) (the Term Loan). In the Credit Facility, LIBOR is defined as the Thirty-Day published rate, not to be less than 2.75%, nor more than 5.50%. The total availability of credit under
all components of the credit facility is keyed to the level of SunLinks earnings, which, based upon the Companys estimates, provided for current borrowing capacity, before any draws, of approximately $40,670 at March 31, 2010. Costs
and fees related to execution of the Credit Facility were $2,179. The fees will be amortized over seven years at approximately $317 a year and are recorded in other assets and other non-current assets. Amortization expense was approximately $100 and
$293, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and $95 and $282, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2009. Accumulated amortization was approximately $731 and $343 at March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all real and personal property of the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries, including a pledge of all of the equity interests
in such subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility contains various terms and conditions, including operational and
financial restrictions and limitations, and affirmative and negative covenants. The covenants include financial covenants measured on a quarterly basis which require SunLink to comply with maximum leverage and minimum fixed charge ratios, maximum
capital expenditure amounts, collateral value to loan amount and liquidity and cash flow measures, all as defined in the Credit Agreement. We believe we are currently in compliance with such covenants based upon an interpretation of various covenant
definitions we believe reasonable but about which there can be no certainty. Thus no assurance is given that our interpretation could not be challenged by our lenders or that we will be able to continue in compliance with all of the terms and
conditions of the Credit Facility in subsequent fiscal quarters. If we fail to remain in compliance with the Credit Facility, we would cease to have a right to draw on the Credit Facility and the lenders would, among other things, be entitled to
call a default and demand repayment of the indebtedness outstanding thereunder.

---

Subject to the forgoing, we believe we have adequate financing and liquidity
to support our current level of operations through the next twelve months. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from continuing operations and availability under the Credit Facility. The total availability of credit under all
components of the Credit Facility is keyed to the level of SunLinks earnings, which, based upon the Companys estimates, would provide for current borrowing capacity of approximately $40,670 at March 31, 2010, of which $31,273 was
outstanding under the Term Loan and $2,100 was outstanding under the Revolving Loan. The current remaining availability under the Revolving Loan of approximately $7,297 at March 31, 2010 could be adversely affected by, among other things, the
risk, uncertainties and other factors listed at the beginning of the Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), as well as continued lower earnings due to lower demand for our services by patients, changes in patient mix and
changes in terms and levels of government and private reimbursement for services. Cash generated from operations could be adversely affected by, among other things, the risks, uncertainties and other factors listed at the beginning of the MD&A,
as well as continued lower patient demand for our services, higher operating costs (including, but not limited to, salaries, wages and benefits, provisions for bad debts, general liability and other insurance costs, cost of pharmaceutical drugs and
other operating expenses) or by changes in terms and levels of government and private reimbursement for services, and the regulatory environment of the community hospital segment.

We expended $1,812 for capital improvements during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and expect to spend
approximately $500 during the remainder of this fiscal year. We believe attractive and up-to-date physical facilities assist in recruiting quality staff and physicians, as well as attracting patients, and the capital expenditures related primarily
to imaging and surgical equipment for the Healthcare Facilities Segment and durable medical equipment for rent and delivery equipment for the Specialty Pharmacy Segment.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies related to long-term debt, non-cancelable operating leases,
physician guarantees and interest on outstanding debt from continuing operations at March 31, 2010 were as follows:

At March 31, 2010, SunLink had
contracts with two physicians which contained guaranteed minimum gross receipts. A physician with whom a guarantee agreement is made generally agrees to maintain his/her practice within the hospital geographic area for a specific



29



---

period (normally three years) or be liable to repay all or a portion of the guarantee received. The physicians liability for any guarantee repayment due to non-compliance with guarantee
provisions generally is collateralized by the physicians patient accounts receivable and/or a promissory note from the physician. Included in the Companys consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2010 is a liability of $205 for two
physician guarantees. SunLink expensed $171 and $214 on physician guarantees and recruiting for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and expensed $517 and $598 on physician guarantees and recruiting for the nine months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The table above shows non-cancelable commitments under physician guarantee contracts as of March 31, 2010.

The former owners of Carmichaels Cashway Pharmacy, Inc. (Sellers) received 334,448 common shares of
SunLink as partial consideration for the business. In the April 2008 acquisition agreement, SunLink was obligated to pay the difference between the market value at the acquisition date and the price per share the Sellers received for shares sold,
less $1 per share, if the shares were sold within one year from the acquisition date. In March 2009, SunLink and the Sellers agreed to cancel SunLinks price guarantee obligation relating to the shares. Concurrently, SunLink and the Sellers
agreed to a one-year extension of a consulting agreement with one of the Sellers, assumption by SunLink of $227 of disputed pre-acquisition expenses and payment of certain post closing items.

At March 31, 2010, we had outstanding long-term debt and subordinated debt of $34,035 of which $31,273 was incurred
under the SunLink 2008 Credit Facility, $2,700 was incurred under the subordinated loan, and $62 was related to capital leases. Also outstanding at March 31, 2010 was a revolving line of credit loan of $2,100.

Discontinued Operations

SunLink sold its former U.K. housewares manufacturing subsidiary, Beldray Limited (Beldray), to two of its
managers in October 2001. Beldray has since entered into administrative receivership and being liquidated under the administration of its primary lender.

On August 6, 2007 the liquidator in an insolvency proceeding in the United Kingdom involving SunLinks former
subsidiary KRUG International (UK) Limited (KRUG UK) made an application in The Birmingham County Court in Birmingham, England which sought a declaration by the court that a transfer of certain funds in 2001 from KRUG UK to SunLink in
connection with the purchase of certain preferred stock of another subsidiary of SunLink, the making of a loan to SunLink, and certain forgiveness of debt to SunLink by KRUG UK Limited was improper as, among other things, KRUG UK was then
effectively insolvent and that the approval of such transfers by the then directors of KRUG UK resulted in a breach of their fiduciary duties. The liquidator sought to have the court order the former directors or, in the alternative, SunLink, to
account for, repay or restore such funds to the liquidator of KRUG UK. This application was settled in April 2010 with SunLink agreeing to pay approximately $1,400. SunLinks insurer under a Directors and Officers insurance policy contributed
$480 with SunLink paying the difference of $920 in April 2010.

SunLinks other current expenses in
current liabilities at March 31, 2010, included $920 for this payment. SunLink expensed $342 in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 to increase the recorded liability to the settlement amount and is included in results of
discontinued operations for those periods. SunLink also expensed $196 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 for legal costs to defend against the claim. This expense was offset by $332 of insurance reimbursement for legal paid by SunLinks
insurer. As a result of the settlement of this claim and the U.K. liquidation proceedings against KRUG UK, SunLink expects KRUG UK to be wound-up in liquidation in the UK and has fully reserved for any assets of KRUG UK.

Additional contingent obligations, other than with respect to our existing
operations, include potential product liability claims for products manufactured and sold before the disposal of our discontinued industrial segment in fiscal year 1989 and for guarantees of certain obligations of former subsidiaries. We are
currently in the process of liquidating two dormant subsidiaries in Germany and France. Based upon an evaluation of information currently available and consultation with legal counsel, management has not reserved any amounts for contingencies
related to these liquidations.

Legal Proceedings

On July 13, 2006, Piedmont Healthcare, Inc. (PHI) and Piedmont Mountainside Hospital, Inc.
(PMH) (collectively the Plaintiffs or Piedmont) filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, alleging breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) dated as of
April 9, 2004 by and among PMH, Piedmont Medical Center, Inc. (n/k/a PMI), Southern Health Corporation of Jasper, Inc. (SHCJ), SunLink Healthcare LLC (formerly SunLink Healthcare Corp.) and SunLink (collectively
Defendants or SunLink) pursuant to which the Mountainside Medical Center was sold to PMH in June 2004. Specifically, Piedmont sought to have SunLink reimburse Piedmont for certain costs associated with an alleged indigent and
charity care shortfall of Piedmont Mountainside Hospital (formerly Mountainside Medical Center) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 demanded by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). In addition, Piedmont sought
reimbursement for funds allegedly recouped from PMH by DCH in respect of Medicaid Cost Report settlements and adjustments for the reporting periods ended June 30, 2002, June 30, 2003 and May 31, 2004. Piedmont also sought a
declaratory judgment to the effect that PMH could retain certain payments it received or likely will receive from the DCHs Indigent Care Trust Fund for Disproportionate Share Hospitals. Piedmont also sought recovery of costs and
attorneys fees pursuant to the Agreement and under Georgia Law.

On August 11, 2006, SunLink filed
an Answer to the complaint asserting factual and legal defenses, along with a Counterclaim. In the Counterclaim, SHCJ alleges that PMH breached the Agreement by failing to reimburse SHCJ for certain Medicaid Cost Report adjustments for the reporting
periods ended June 30, 1999, and June 30, 2000, as well as funds paid to PMH from the DCHs Indigent Care Trust Fund for Disproportionate Share Hospitals, which payments Defendants contended qualified as excluded assets
not sold to PMH under the Agreement. SHCJ also alleged that PMH breached the Agreement by failing to cooperate with SHCJ in an appeal of certain Medicaid Cost Reports settlements for the reporting periods ended June 30, 2002, June 30,
2003 and May 31, 2004. SHCJ further alleged that Piedmont breached its obligations to guarantee PMHs payment and performance of its obligations under the Agreement. SunLink sought a declaratory judgment regarding the parties rights
in respect of the Medicaid Cost Report settlements and adjustments, as well as the payments made under the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Also, Defendants sought to recover their costs and attorneys fees pursuant to the Agreement and under Georgia
law.

On October 13, 2008, the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, ruled in SunLinks favor and
determined that the May and August 2006 DSH payments constituted excluded assets not sold to PMH under the Agreement and, therefore, the right to receive the payments belonged to SunLink. By PMH retaining the payments for itself and
failing to pay an equivalent amount of money to SunLink, PMH was in breach of the agreement. PMH was held liable to SunLink for damages in the net amount of $1,056 ($1,560 in DSH payments minus $504 SHCJ owed PMH pursuant to the Agreement), plus
prejudgment interest from August 11, 2006 to November 11, 2008 at the legal rate of 7%, and post-judgment interest after November 11, 2008 at the legal rate of 7%. Piedmont appealed the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia ruling to
the Georgia Court of Appeals. On November 30, 2009, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment in favor of SunLink in all respects. In December of 2009, Piedmont filed a petition for certiorari requesting that the Georgia Supreme
Court hear the case. SunLink opposed the petition, and on



31



---

May 3, 2010 the Georgia Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal. Therefore, SunLink has recorded a receivable of $1,325 for the judgment amount plus prejudgment and post-judgment interest,
and offset the amounts owing to PMH. The receivable is included in the accompanying March 31, 2010 balance sheet, and the benefit associated therewith is included in earnings from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of earnings for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. Under the terms of the asset sale agreement, SunLink has the right to be indemnified by the buyer for losses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of litigation) incurred in enforcing
the covenants and agreements of the buyer of the asset sale agreement. No amount of any possible recovery of legal fees has been accrued as of March 31, 2010.

On December 7, 2007, Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (SHC-Ellijay) filed a Complaint
against James P. Garrett and Roberta Mundy, both individually and as Fiduciary of the Estate of Randy Mundy (collectively, the Mundys), seeking specific performance of an Option Agreement (the Option Agreement) dated
April 17, 2007, between SHC-Ellijay, Mr. Garrett, and Ms. Mundy as Executrix of the Estate of Randy Mundy for the sale of approximately 24.74 acres of real property located in Gilmer County, Georgia, and recovery of SHC-Ellijays
damages suffered as a result of the Mundys failure to close the transaction in accordance with the Option Agreement. SHC-Ellijay also stated alternative claims for breach of the Option Agreement and fraud, along with claims to recover
attorneys fees and punitive damages.

In January 2008, the Mundys filed a motion to strike, motion to
dismiss, answer, affirmative defenses, and a counterclaim against SHC-Ellijay. On March 3, 2009, SHC-Ellijay filed a First Amended and Restated Complaint for Damages, which effectively dropped the cause of action for specific performance of the
Option Agreement. On May 7, 2009, Mr. Garrett and Ms. Mundy served a motion for summary judgment on all counts and causes of action stated in the First Amended Complaint. The court has postponed consideration of the defendants
motion for summary judgment and SHC-Ellijays response thereto until after a discovery dispute between the parties has been resolved.

SunLink denies that it has any liability to the Mundys and intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against
SunLink by the Mundys complaint and to vigorously pursue its claims against the Mundys. While the ultimate outcome and materiality of the litigation cannot be determined, in managements opinion the litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on SunLinks financial condition or results of operations.

SunLink sold its former U.K.
housewares manufacturing subsidiary, Beldray Limited (Beldray) in October 2001. Beldray subsequently entered into administrative receivership under the administration of its primary lender. SunLink believes Beldray ceased to operate in
October 2004.

On August 6, 2007 the liquidator in an insolvency proceeding in the United Kingdom
involving SunLinks former subsidiary KRUG International (UK) Limited (KRUG UK) made an application in The Birmingham County Court in Birmingham, England which sought a declaration by the court that a transfer of certain funds in
2001 from KRUG UK to SunLink in connection with the purchase of certain preferred stock of another subsidiary of SunLink, the making of a loan to SunLink, and certain forgiveness of debt to SunLink by KRUG UK Limited was improper as, among other
things, KRUG UK was then effectively insolvent and that the approval of such transfers by the then directors of KRUG UK resulted in a breach of their fiduciary duties. The liquidator sought to have the court order the former directors or, in the
alternative, SunLink, to account for, repay or restore such funds to the liquidator of KRUG UK. This application was settled in April with SunLink agreeing to pay approximately $1,400. SunLinks insurer under a Directors and Officers insurance
policy contributed $480 with SunLink paying the difference of $920 in April 2010.

SunLinks other
current expenses in current liabilities at March 31, 2010, included $920 for this payment. SunLink expensed $342 in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 to increase the recorded liability to the settlement amount and is included
in results of discontinued



32



---

operations for those periods. SunLink also expensed $196 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 for legal costs to defend against the claim. This expense was offset by $332 of insurance
reimbursement for legal paid by SunLinks insurer. As a result of the settlement of this claim and the U.K. liquidation proceedings against KRUG UK, SunLink expects KRUG UK to be wound-up in liquidation in the UK and has fully reserved for any
assets of KRUG UK.

Additional contingent obligations, other than with respect to our existing operations,
include potential product liability claims for products manufactured and sold before the disposal of our discontinued industrial segment in fiscal year 1989 and for guarantees of certain obligations of former subsidiaries.

SunLink is a party to claims and litigation incidental to its business, for which it is not currently possible to
determine the ultimate liability, if any. Based on an evaluation of information currently available and consultation with legal counsel, management believes that resolution of such claims and litigation is not likely to have a material effect on the
financial position, cash flows, or results of operations of SunLink. SunLink expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

Sarbanes-Oxley
Section 404

We are in the third year of compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) under which our management must report on, as of March 31, 2010, and our independent auditors must attest to, as of June 30, 2010, our internal controls over financial reporting as required by
Sarbanes-Oxley. See Managements Report over Internal Controls Reporting in Item 4T of this Quarterly Report for our assessment. We are establishing the process to update our documentation and perform testing of internal
controls for the Company. Legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives which would exempt public companies which are not accelerated filers from the obligation to have their independent auditors attest to the companys
internal controls over financial reporting. We cannot predict if or when any said legislation may become law.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) ASC 105. ASC 105 replaces SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. ASC 105 is
effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The codification is effective for the accompanying interim financial statements and the principal impact is limited to disclosures as all
future references to authoritative literature will be referenced in accordance with the codification.

In
September 2006, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and related disclosures. This new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. We adopted this new guidance on July 1, 2008, as required for our financial assets and financial liabilities. However, the FASB deferred the effective date of this new guidance for one year as it related to fair value measurement
requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. We adopted these remaining provisions on July 1, 2009. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.



33



---

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe recorded values
of cash, receivables, and payables approximate their fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the fair value of SunLinks long-term debt is estimated to approximate its recorded values due to its
relatively short maturity periodsix years.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance
related to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.
This guidance requires that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the controlling companys balance sheet. It also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in
the controlling companys income statement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted this guidance on July 1, 2009 and reclassified minority interest to the equity section of the
balance sheet. (See Note 12  Noncontrolling Interest)

Related Party Transactions

A director of the Company and our company secretary (who was a director of SunLink until November 2003 and is now a
director emeritus) are members of two different law firms, each of which provides services to SunLink. The Company has paid an aggregate of $147 and $118 for legal services to these law firms in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and $399 and $433 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to interest rate changes, primarily as a result of borrowing under our 2008 Credit Facility. At
March 31, 2010, borrowings under the facility of $33,011 have been drawn at an interest rate based upon LIBOR. A one percent change in the LIBOR rate would result in a change in interest expense of $330 on an annual basis. No action has been
taken to mitigate our exposure to interest rate market risk and we are not a party to any interest rate market risk management activities.



|ITEM 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

RestatementIn July 2009, we identified potential errors in our accounting for accounts receivable,
contractual allowances and bad debt reserves at our Carmichael subsidiary. Upon completion of our investigation and analysis of Carmichaels accounts receivable, on August 28, 2009, SunLinks management concluded that we would
amend our previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively, to correct our previously reported net revenues, provision for bad debts and
receivablesnet. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concurred with managements decision to amend our previously filed reports on August 28, 2009. Additionally, management concluded that our failure to identify the errors
in our accounting for Carmichaels accounts receivable, revenues, provision for bad debts and contractual allowances constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency,
or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Solely as a result of this material weakness, our
management revised its earlier assessment and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not



34



---

effective as of June 30, 2009, due to a failure of internal controls at our Carmichaels subsidiary. This material weakness caused us to amend our Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended
September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

Disclosure
Controls and ProceduresWe maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are able to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this
information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC.

In light of the restatements, our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and SunLinks Audit Committee, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in the internal control over
financial reporting at our Carmichael subsidiary described above and the ongoing nature of our remediation efforts that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by our report on Form 10-K and were
not effective as of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.

Since our April 2008 acquisition of
Carmichael, (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report or form 10-K), we have focused upon integrating the operations acquired into our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls. However, in
accordance with the rules of the SEC, we did not assess the internal control over financial reporting of our Carmichael subsidiary.

As previously disclosed, because of the need to integrate Carmichael into our system of disclosure and internal controls,
there is a risk that we are not able to calculate meaningful changes in bad debts or revenue until after we are able to fully assess the internal controls at Carmichael and address the material weaknesses we have identified. Furthermore, the
pre-existing deficiencies in the Carmichael financial systems, processes and related internal controls increase the risk that the historical or current financial statements of the Carmichael operations and cash flows provided to SunLink both before
or after the acquisition might not be accurate in additional ways or to an extent beyond the ways previously identified by us in Current Reports on Form 8-K, including reports filed on September 19, 2008, May 22, 2009 and
August 28, 2009 or amendments thereto.

As previously disclosed, on September 17, 2008, we announced
that the financial statements of Carmichael for the periods June 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and January 1, 2008 through April 22, 2008, should not be relied upon
and that we expected the audited financial statements of Carmichael would be restated to adjust the pre-acquisition periods previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 9, 2008. Such financial statements were restated and
were included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on May 22, 2009.

We reached our conclusion with
respect to such pre-acquisition periods based on information reviewed by SunLinks Management, SunLinks Audit Committee and SunLinks independent registered public accounting firm that the Carmichael pre-acquisition financial
statements contained errors that include the amount of customer receivables and which related to pre-acquisition collections, bad debts policies and Carmichael collection activities.

As previously discussed, on August 28, 2009, we announced that the unaudited financial statements contained in our
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, should not be relied upon and that we expected such financial statements to be restated due to the impact of
post-acquisition non-cash accounting errors at Carmichael. We filed amendments to our Form 10-Qs for such periods on



35



---

September 25, 2009. In light of the restatements and the ongoing nature of our remediation efforts, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the
material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at Carmichael described above, SunLink had a corresponding weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures such that our internal controls and procedures were not effective as of
June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

We reached our conclusion with respect to such restated
post-acquisition periods based on information reviewed by SunLinks management, SunLinks Audit Committee, the Investigation Accountant we retained, and SunLinks independent registered public accounting firm that the Carmichael
post-acquisition financial statements for the specified quarters contained errors that include accounting for accounts receivable, contractual allowances, revenues and provision for bad debts.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal ControlWe have performed an extensive review of the matters
impacted by the material weakness described above in an effort to ensure that our financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments. We believe that this review, the investigation and analysis of the errors described above, and the changes in
the related accounting processes which are being or have been implemented as a result of the restatements will remediate the material weakness and are designed so that, when fully implemented, we may conclude that the internal control over financial
reporting at our Carmichael subsidiary are effective and accordingly that no material weakness in our consolidated controls and procedures will remain as a result thereof. However, as of the date of the filing of this report, not all of the remedial
actions have been implemented. Accordingly, until all of our remedial actions with respect to Carmichael have been completed and tested, material weakness in our internal controls may exist.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial ReportingExcept as described above, there were no changes to our
internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Accounting Firm AttestationOur most recent annual report did not include an attestation report of the
Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements annual report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only managements report in such annual report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Items required under Part II not specifically shown below are not applicable.



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

On August 6, 2007, the liquidator of KRUG International (UK) Limited (KRUG UK) made an application in the
Birmingham County Court in Birmingham, England, in which the liquidator is seeking a declaration by the court that a transfer of certain funds in 2001 from KRUG UK to SunLink in connection with the purchase of certain preferred stock of another
subsidiary of SunLink and the making of a loan to SunLink, and certain forgiveness of debt to SunLink by KRUG UK was improper, among other things, as KRUG UK was then effectively insolvent and that the approval of such transfers by the then
directors of KRUG UK resulted in a breach of their fiduciary duties. The liquidator seeks to have the court order the former directors or, in the alternative, the Company, to account for, repay or restore such funds plus interest to the liquidator
of KRUG UK. In connection with the allegations in the application of breach of fiduciary duty by the directors of KRUG UK in approving such transfer of funds, SunLink has indemnification obligations to the former directors of KRUG UK. This
application was settled in April with SunLink agreeing to pay approximately $1,400. SunLinks insurer under a Directors and Officers insurance policy contributed $480 with SunLink paying the difference of $920 in April 2010.

On July 13, 2006, Piedmont Healthcare, Inc. (PHI) and Piedmont Mountainside Hospital, Inc.
(PMH) (collectively the Plaintiffs or Piedmont) filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, alleging breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) dated as of
April 9, 2004 by and among PMH, Piedmont Medical Center, Inc. (n/k/a PMI), Southern Health Corporation of Jasper, Inc. (SHCJ), SunLink Healthcare LLC (formerly SunLink Healthcare Corp.) and SunLink (collectively
Defendants or SunLink) pursuant to which the Mountainside Medical Center was sold to PMH in June 2004. Specifically, Piedmont sought to have SunLink reimburse Piedmont for certain costs associated with an alleged indigent and
charity care shortfall of Piedmont Mountainside Hospital (formerly Mountainside Medical Center) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 demanded by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). In addition, Piedmont sought
reimbursement for funds allegedly recouped from PMH by DCH in respect of Medicaid Cost Report settlements and adjustments for the reporting periods ended June 30, 2002, June 30, 2003 and May 31, 2004. Piedmont also sought a
declaratory judgment to the effect that PMH could retain certain payments it received or likely will receive from the DCHs Indigent Care Trust Fund for Disproportionate Share Hospitals. Piedmont also sought recovery of costs and
attorneys fees pursuant to the Agreement and under Georgia Law.

On August 11, 2006, SunLink filed
an Answer to the complaint asserting factual and legal defenses, along with a Counterclaim. In the Counterclaim, SHCJ alleges that PMH breached the Agreement by failing to reimburse SHCJ for certain Medicaid Cost Report adjustments for the reporting
periods ended June 30, 1999, and June 30, 2000, as well as funds paid to PMH from the DCHs Indigent Care Trust Fund for Disproportionate Share Hospitals, which payments Defendants contended qualified as excluded assets
not sold to PMH under the Agreement. SHCJ also alleged that PMH breached the Agreement by failing to cooperate with SHCJ in an appeal of certain Medicaid Cost Reports settlements for the reporting periods ended June 30, 2002, June 30,
2003 and May 31, 2004. SHCJ further alleged that Piedmont breached its obligations to guarantee PMHs payment and performance of its obligations under the Agreement. SunLink sought a declaratory judgment regarding the parties rights
in respect of the Medicaid Cost Report settlements and adjustments, as well as the payments made under the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Also, Defendants sought to recover their costs and attorneys fees pursuant to the Agreement and under Georgia
law.

On October 13, 2008, the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, ruled
in SunLinks favor and determined that the May and August 2006 DSH payments constituted excluded assets not sold to PMH under the Agreement and, therefore, the right to receive the payments belonged to SunLink. By PMH retaining the
payments for itself and failing to pay an equivalent amount of money to SunLink, PMH was in breach of the agreement. PMH was held liable to SunLink for damages in the net amount of $1,056 ($1,560 in DSH payments minus $504 SHCJ owed PMH pursuant to
the Agreement), plus prejudgment interest from August 11, 2006 to November 11, 2008 at the legal rate of 7%, and post-judgment interest after November 11, 2008 at the legal rate of 7%. Piedmont appealed the Superior Court of Cobb
County, Georgia ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals. On November 30, 2009, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment in favor of SunLink in all respects. In December of 2009, Piedmont filed a petition for certiorari
requesting that the Georgia Supreme Court hear the case. SunLink opposed the petition, and on May 3, 2010 the Georgia Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal. Therefore, SunLink has recorded a receivable of $1,325 for the judgment amount plus
prejudgment and post-judgment interest, offset the amounts owing to PMH. The receivable is included in the accompanying March 31, 2010 balance sheet, and the benefit associated therewith is included in earnings from discontinued operations in
the consolidated statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. Under the terms of the asset sale agreement, SunLink has the right to be indemnified by the buyer for losses (including reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses of litigation) incurred in enforcing the covenants and agreements of the buyer of the asset sale agreement. No amount of any possible recovery of legal fees has been accrued as of March 31, 2010.

On December 7, 2007, Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (SHC-Ellijay) filed a Complaint
against James P. Garrett and Roberta Mundy, both individually and as Fiduciary of the Estate of Randy Mundy (collectively, Defendants), seeking specific performance of an Option Agreement (the Option Agreement) dated
April 17, 2007, between SHC-Ellijay, Mr. Garrett, and Ms. Mundy as Executrix of the Estate of Randy Mundy for the sale of approximately 24.74 acres of real property located in Gilmer County, Georgia, and recovery of SHC-Ellijays
damages suffered as a result of Defendants failure to close the transaction in accordance with the Option Agreement. SHC-Ellijay also stated alternative claims for breach of the Option Agreement and fraud, along with claims to recover
attorneys fees and punitive damages.

In January 2008, the Mundys filed a motion to strike, motion to
dismiss, answer, affirmative defenses, and a counterclaim against SHC-Ellijay. On March 3, 2009, SHC-Ellijay filed a First Amended and Restated Complaint for Damages, which effectively dropped the cause of action for specific performance of the
Option Agreement. On May 7, 2009, Mr. Garrett and Ms. Mundy served a motion for summary judgment on all counts and causes of action stated in the First Amended Complaint. The court has postponed consideration of the defendants
motion for summary judgment and SHC-Ellijays response thereto until after a discovery dispute between the parties has been resolved.

SunLink denies that it has any liability to the Mundys and intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against
SunLink by the Mundys complaint and to vigorously pursue its claims against the Mundys. While the ultimate outcome and materiality of the litigation cannot be determined, in managements opinion the litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on SunLinks financial condition or results of operations.
